Mr.. Nicoll cross examined the witness.
He did not succeed in changing his evil
dence. Mrs. McLaughlin declared that she
had never seen eX-Ald. Waite at her house
and that he had never been there. This
was i'll contradiction of Aid. Waite, who
said that when he was member of the
railroad committee of the board
of aldermen he met with other
members at McLaughln's frequently. Mrs,
Mclaughlin said the first time she ever saw
Waite he was having his boots bIackened
at the corner of Sixth avenue ana Thirty
third street a few weeks ago, when he was
pointed out to her. She remembered
Steiner, Sullivan, Cassidy and others in the
Tammany general committee of 1854. of

was leaving the stand Mr.. Mitchell said:
'You have

attorney, do you, Mrs. Mclaughlin" The
lady shook her head. Richard Sullivan,
secretary of the Tammany committee of
which Mclaughlin was chairman, and a
clerk of the supreme court, testified that he
was at McLaughlin's house every evening
from Jan. 1, 1884. until Mclaughlin went
to Saratoga in June. None of the aldermen
were present during that time. He was
closely questioned regarding his knowledge
of the trials of McQuade. Justice Barrett
asked him sharply why he did not come
forward and tell his story then. Sullivan
replied that he did not wish to get mixed
up with the affair. Then you sat by, an

you could contradict, and were silent9"
Justice Barrett's face wore dsagreeable,
ugly look as he turned in his chair from
Sullivan. W. j. Cowley, who lodged in
the hall bedroom of the rear parlor at
McLaughlins in 1881. was called.
He said he gave up his room to McLaagh-
Inns nurse after the operation of February,
1884. After the nurse left Miss Fox slept
III that room. CoWley slept in the base
ment. He mad never seen Neill at Nc
Laughlin'S house, but had seen Fulgraff sew
eral times.
ON OSS-EXAA1TNATION,
he said that he sometimes opened the base
ment door and so did the servant
girl but upon the parior floor Mrs. Nc
Laughin Mrs. Fox and Mr.. Mclaughlin
opened the door. He had seen Mclaughlin
go into the basement and open the
door in answer to the bell. DR..
James W. Lyman. McLaughlin's ply
sician, in his testimony made
the rather important admission that Nc
Laughin, at the time he was out of the
city, frequently came back and slept in his
own house alone his family and servants
being away. John Lotus, who lived on
the upper floor of McLaughlin's house, con-
tradicted this testimony. Minnie McSorley,
4 niece of Mclaughlin, testified that
Mclaughlin stopped at his mothers
house when temporarily in the city. Da-
RUS Schoffield, crier of the court Of sessions,
testified that he. Assistant District Attor-
ney Ambrose V. Purdy and Detective Rob

and O'Neill before he went on the stand, to
identify them. and that he asked
Purdy ''what's up?" and Purdy rejoined

or ''Fm fixing up evidence for these boys"
John II. Mcconnell testified much to the
same effect but witnesses saying their sus-
picions were aroused by the actions of the
officers. Ex-Alds. Charles H. Reilly anG
Thomas Cleary. indicted like McQuade.
O'Neill and others, testified tot heir entire
lack of knowledge of the combine, but on
cross-eXamination Cleary said he had called
on Mclaughlin in the summer of 1884 and
chat Mclaughlin answered the bell in per-
son. This contradicted Miss Fox. Mrs.
Mclaughlin, Cawley and Lotus, who had
sworn that Mclaughlin was too i'll
to respond to the door bell, that
no alderman but Full lgraff ever called, that
Miss Fox Invariably answered the bell. etc.
John F. Mcintyre, one of Reilly's counsel,
testified to the scene between Purdy, Rob-
ertson and Katie Metz at the McQuade
trial, but the court said he
had enough of it and that
it was immaterial and stopped
the examination in its midst. Testimony
as to the good character of O'Neill and to
the fact that property owners along Broad
way had urged him to vote for the fran
chise was given. and the court adjourned to
Monday when O'Neill himself Will take the
